Licensing question

Looking at licensing for 2008 server I see the point below (bottom of post)

Does the same apply for Hyper V Server? ie If I'm installing a windows 2003
virtual server on my hyper v server do clients who are accessing the 2003
server need 2008 CALS or are 2003 CALs ok in this instance?

Thanks for any info

Q: If I move an instance of Windows 2003 to run as a virtual instance on a
server with Windows Server 2008 Enterprise running in the physical operating
system environment. Can I use Windows Server 2003 CALs to access the virtual
instance of Windows Server 2003?

A: No. Because the virtual instance of Windows Server 2003 runs on a Windows
Server 2008 license, the user or device accessing the virtual instance of
Windows Server 2003 needs a Windows Server 2008 CAL.

That is extremely bizarre. I think you'll have to get an answer from
Microsoft themselves. This clause seems contrary to their ideal that
the VM is a totally separate machine.

I got a little more info on this. The Q/A you have is outdated, it
was that way before but it's no longer so, you can use Win2003 CAL's.

MicroSoft changed the terms.
